Greetings members,

In this thread I will explain our newest feature: Customizable username icons! :!:



:arrow: Navigate to your Account Details page and scroll to near the bottom of that page, look for "Username icon"

Here you'll see 3 options:
- No icon
- Select font based icon
- Select image based icon

If you choose 'No icon' you will use your user group's default icon. You also have the option of customizing your username icon with either a font-based icon or an image-based icon.




Font Based Icons

Font based icons are text based icons. You'll be able to edit the color of these icons and flip or rotate them.

Once you've customized your icon to your liking remember to hit the 'Save' button when you're done.



Image Based Icons

Image based icons are little 16x16 images.

Once you've chosen your icon remember to hit the 'Save' button when you're done.




For this example I have chosen an image based icon (an alien icon), it will appear next to my username all over the forum.

Enjoy your new custom username icon! Feel free to edit and change it as often as you like.

Great. Another useless feature. Let me try it.

EDIT: Nope. Can't find even a single one that I like. Useless. :p
 
I'm lovin' it!
 
Works for me!
 
Thanks, @Nebulous! The EA icon suits me right. :) Gotta love sims 4!
 
Would it be possible to allow us to upload our own? Just tell us max allowed size and accepted image format(s).
 
I was going to suggest this feature soon. I am glad to see it implemented. :)

You can send me the icon you'd like and I can upload it for you no problem. Images ending in .png are prefered, I can resize them down to 16x16. :)
 
I'm liking this a whole lot. Awesome work, @Nebulous

Transparent or solid background?
 
I noticed the little icons next to our names before. I am glad we get to customize them now! Thank you :heart:
